it is gentlemen good evening and welcome to the coverage of the speech by the world cup to our beautiful studio here right in the heart of moscow let me use my coach coverage of the championship over the next month peter schmeichel the great they have very very safe pair of pants and a fantastic sense of what to say if you're a say kearns in the studio as well as a few dusty for that and i just want to say there are two things i think that you're going to benefit from by changing into aussie during this chairmanship one we're going to bring you the expert punditry inside people inside the game play is now i just hate to say love josie bring young people who will know the things that you could never possibly have experienced the other thing is atmosphere just listen carefully apart from the clinking of being classist you can hear i think if you visit. some. in the background it's a wonderful scene wherever you're watching us from in the world i just want to get a deep breath and just so caught up because that's what it's about it's it's

a world cup and it's here and russia risen bracing it and i hope and i believe the fans are bracing it and it's something to enjoy a good thing this football hump it's i think so and it's so nice that it's finally here we've been talking in preparing myself i travel around to all the eleven host cities i've seen all the stadiums have been very excited about that but we're in a way where you know our studio here with the with the view over the curb and the red square there where the big sort of opening the official opening for that's a big concert that today the russian president will be there and the future president will be there i'm going to. actually join their. i leave you to stuff you are go no go for it honestly tomorrow we have to face again and it's just exactly what we've waited for this is much about this isn't it as well as just watching the football and bracing the host country in the culture it is the meaning of and we hear a lot of a. talk or the running into any every woke up. now we hear it's all

about football i and the river live in the forward to that and we can see thousand the football fans have already dealt with him russia you saw them before you can hear them are they taking in the whole scene is before this opening game that we have tomorrow between russia and sa you're right now just have a look at this. thing i. know. i. feel. like. i.

bought it and all of a hospital but i got put on my boat and. frankly i'm not sure if i should be making any noise right now we'll look at what is going on behind the night one too well it's one of classical music and oprah and the other people football have come together to become one an unusual makes from the first glimpse but that's only the first glimpse of course to put us in behind me placid domingo is a massive real madrid found for example and know the people watching him there the best proof that football and classical music go together very very well this is not the only events you could. the school has told the two football fans there's a light show going on on the walls of the bolshoi theater and in the other parts of mosco a fan center was opened it features a massive plasma screen so fans can gather together and cheer for their favorite team and of course on a way here we could see

a lot of groups basically moscow city center is bustling with all the fans of the old people who have come to moscow to watch the main football events of the planets i don't see too many spanish fans down there now i know but that's because the spanish french team they might be a little bit upset have some free time in the chinaman because their countries football association sorry this morning to sack the coach and that is two days before that huge game against portugal and i got it we're all here because we've had to dismiss the manager of the national team they have provided no information to the royal spanish football federation we learnt it only five minutes before the press conference it has to be a message to all employees of the rule spanish football federation that this is no way to act with chairman of the president of the spanish football so if you've got really angry. they felt slighted yes the song is only played in a job his name is rubio yes it's only put in the job for one month i mean simply he

turned up this morning with a cold because he felt that the conscious being disloyal but he hadn't informed the football association and also a month ago on may the seventy's he got elected on the promise to make the football federation of spain stronger so he's played with his muscles today but i think he's learned. the spanish team and he had always been a coach for the rock up he's landed them in with the payment given the multiple but you really want to have you know two days before you start the world cup i think if you're always being honest and if you haven't been set next to his boss in a press conference he probably said slightly sold myself when i had this. yes but he was much more diplomatic than he is a big question he's been experience and director for point paula that everyone respects and in spain has been a player at the highest level since one everything there is to see to win maybe a bigger part but he's been you know he's someone that the players will they will

listen to but he's a different voice he's not the voice that they've been preparing with and this is where the tricky part comes in so the coach he's been looking at everything the player for months so. he knows exactly what he wants to do against portugal he's got his eleven names he knows he's prepared for that game and now someone else with different eyes is going to look at that game and maybe pick one or two other players with might. upset the rhythm yet and whatever anybody says. this is not how they would have wanted to enter the competition is coming here they are the second favorites to win this well cup after president of course most experts most pundits across the world they have to miss a second favorites they could still do it but it's going to be it's going to be to fit more difficult i think the chances of being anything to do it this time they were really good i think with a cherry on top i suspect

a lot of people back spain probably feeling very uncomfortable now and also just a marine you know another big name hosts for this thought about a pick spain to advance from group they and i wonder now would he make the same choice with the arrow in charge of i would ask him if he had three more bodies mapped out i hope you've seen this he's not up front that anything's going to go from the group stages into the last sixteen and then on to the quarter finals now he's giving us the protections of who will be the last two teams standing. if. portugal and brazil the first of course will people will say that i'm doing emotional jol and i think. yeah might be biased or for sure for the final i will first of all go for the school. and doesn't in the german.

north i want. brazil germany is the revenge of the result. so brazil will finish so. and you know it does mean is not just. like up to a country with. extra time penalties the level of play is that they take a penalty. that is the one more penalty and less penalty one takes to see another one it takes one in their lives to go to match it. was a very funny exercise. but. in all those probably didn't even go over the group phase and probably some of the teams that didn't include in the last sixteen probably there were to be in the quarter finals and the

semifinals and finals football isn't predictable and that's the main reason to be the beautiful game and hope you enjoy them. it will get totally different i don't understand why do you need another just i want to know well you can never have too many merinos so for the world cup we found the perfect co-host for you so much expertise structures and maybe you don't miss it funnel to guys i'm not going to work with him it will take all the attention and i want another co-host and you can find more of the majesty managers predictions if you head over to our t.v. dot com you won't think he was talking nonsense if you think so challenge and had to face. well twitter use the hash tag much more you make your own predictions and print is enough for the city just like it's a big holiday. a lot of people i see from home from a lot of different countries mexico per. year of why america is fantastic you know

it's funny because i was here two weeks ago and i'm like they're not even ready for this but i'm coming in a couple of days ago we really looks like the world cup is here and we've got the old thinking of going like this. so everyone i speak to that knows a russian team has sort of a little bit apprehensive about politics where is his russian saying. well we'll see tomorrow because i think that it's the most important game for us because the games with. your wife will follow and that the demo that will decide the first game is very important we have a lot of. people for saying our team is really really bad i don't think so i think it's about the board we have a lot of young guys we have some very old guys fighting russia which i mean all for sports you know is just good enough when you think very old how does that part of the years i had to have thirty six thirty seven was still hopeful for goal for

a year or maybe like that big tournaments but still i think their training picturing the loddon will show what they got from the world cup favorites sweeping right across russia and people are already thinking about the future lots of countries want to be in this position now and fee for members of voting for the host of the twenty twenty six competition. among us it's. tough this is. going. to be the first time this tournament has been playing across three countries thank you for nation. when they can find power for truth then palmer all parts and the fact that the north american bit off is almost a ready made wilco experience with state already built solar on the construction of the twenty twenty six competition with the full to taking this sixty more than the current four month competing and that's ok here in russia no one has been able to

escape the excitement even though use you often never kicked the ball before and i'm not talking about.

short term gains at the expense of a longer term growth saudia some of the best thing in the future and in products and employees you're taking all of future revenues if you're booking it today just like the man is buying back all the stuff in his own store yes he bought back all of the stuff in his story and he has a lot of revenue but now my store is empty and he has nothing to sell so the next quarter he says my sales are zero because i have nothing in the store to sell i bought it all myself so similarly with apple they'll buy back all their stock they want to bask in the future and when it comes time to report earnings in a year or two from now they'll have nothing to report. what hope to. be put them so go along. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want. to going to be

pros which is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm going to sleep always in the water. pressure. and welcome back this is our t. international it take a look at some other news making headlines around the world the united nations has condemned israel's deadly crackdown on protests along the gaza border a resolution was passed by the general assembly in new york with one hundred twenty votes in favor and eight against it accuses israel of excessive use of force against palestinians and calls for an international effort to protect civilians however the text does not include a u.s. amendment blaming hamas for inciting violence israeli envoy danny danon expressed his anger over the resolution saying that by supporting it member states are

cooling with a terrorist organization and empowering hamas and his views were echoed by the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley the nature of this resolution clearly demonstrates that politics is driving the day it is totally one sided it makes not one mention of hamas who routinely and violence in gaza now according to palestinian officials one hundred twenty nine civilians have been killed in border clashes during the past week alone israel says its forces are acting purely in self-defense. the was.

cross live to read sterling who's an investigative journalist to read thanks for being with us here on r t international so. the un has condemned israel's use of deadly force overwhelmingly will this change anything in practicality. i don't know but it shows the isolation of the united states and israel on this issue as you noted there was one hundred twenty votes yes the words eight votes no a but of those eight five of them are tiny island nations like seoul and tokyo and other countries that few people have heard of before there are only three countries actually opposed the resolution that was israel the united states and australia so it shows how overwhelming the international recognition is of what's going on there the facts are very clear over the last two months one hundred about one hundred thirty palestinians killed many many thousand seriously injured and on the other

side zero israelis killed or seriously injured so the facts are really clear and as much as the united states and nikki haley may deny it it's being recognized increasingly around the world so the u.s. called this resolution one sided and biased. but we also saw how many people voted for it do they have a point at all. well. the situation is very biased you've got approximately two million people in what amounts to an open air prison a tiny strip of land five miles wide by twenty five miles long and just imagine the reverse scenario imagine that two million israelis were held captive in an open air prison and when they protested one hundred twenty of them were shot and killed imagine what what kind of. outcry there would be about that so the situation is is is biased that's that's the reality it's totally unjust

and it needs to be called to account for the good of everyone so israel and the u.s. claim that hamas is responsible for the violence. i mean is this fair. well hamas was elected in two thousand and six in a what was considered a free and fair election to be the the governing governing body in in gaza it's a political force there but it's notable that the big protests that that began on march thirty and continued for the next couple months they were not hamas demonstrations they were not islamic jihad or p f l p or or particular groups the the protestors were they were unarmed and b they were all carrying any inflicts they were not the flags of different groups or parties such as hamas so the claim

to trying to blame hamas is just a distraction it's a form of deception which they want to try to mislead the people from seeing what's pretty clear you've got unarmed protesters who are in gaza they're you know hundreds of yards from the so-called fence and they're being shot by snipers. with with live ammunition and this is what's going on and it's really a testament to the courage of palestinians that they have kept going on a testament to their courage and also their desperation and just how grim the situation is. they've seen thousands of their fellow. women and men including medics shot and injured or killed and yet palestinians continued going out week after week and protesting against their own precious. rick kind of rabbit hole question going down it if you will do you see any chance of the border standoff been resolved. i think eventually there's got to be some kind of.

a reversal in the course of events here one thing that's notable is that there's actually more criticism and more active outrage against what's going on in israel then there is in western media. israeli journalists such as amir huston gideon levy have been totally outraged by what's going on and they've pointed the finger and they've described this thing with very strong language is article was the fence that divides the brave from the cowardly and it was the palestinians who were the brave bin it was the israeli soldiers who were the cowardly in her description so. there is hope there because there is a while that is writ the israeli public generally is supportive of these atrocities perhaps there is a clear recognition that it's wrong and that there's no future in continuing this kind of old pression in the long run there's got to be

a real change in the situation there and so this resolution at the u.n. general assembly today is a small step but it's a positive step in the right direction are i read great to talk to you on this subject help us reprimands around and get some perspective rick stirling investigative journalist with us here in our team tonight you. are president trump has repeated his call for russia to be invited back into the g seven saying that member states already spend so much of their time talking about moscow. you know we spent probably twenty five percent of our time talking about russia and i said to myself would it be better if they were here now i'm not for russia i'm for the united states as an example. let me put who was sitting next to me at a table instead of one of the others we were having dinner the other night in canada donald trump already made this call last week at the g. seven summit happened and he called for russia to be reinstated to the group he

said they should be able to rejoin the body when he said that it sparked quite a conversation as for the presidents of russia and the g. eight we will see for sure italy was traditionally a supporter of the russian presence in the g eight. we have seen maligned activity from russia in a whole variety of ways of course including on the streets of solsbury in the u.k. so we need to see i think before any such conversations can take please russia needs to change its approach the reason russia was expelled from the body other this took place during the situation regarding crimea there was a referendum in crimea ninety seven percent of the people in crimea voted to leave ukraine and join with russia that it was in response to that that the g eight dropped russia became the g seven but now we have this proposal from trump trump is steadfastly calling for russia to be readmitted into the group and for the g. seven to once again become the g eight. it only has summoned the french ambassador

after a president criticized italy's decision to turn away in migrant rescue boat or to try to penske has more earlier this week a humanitarian vessel was denied the right to dock at a port on italy's island of sicily the rescue ship was carrying over six hundred migrants including many unaccompanied minors and pregnant women they had been rescued off the coast of libya but are now currently on route to the port of lengthier after spanish authorities said that they could dock there well the french president has been scathing in his attack of italy in regards to this situation describing the country's actions as being cynical and irresponsible italy is furious at that criticism by france and is demanding an apology. the french ambassador has been summoned by a foreign minister who on behalf of the italian people will ask for an explanation

for the insults directed not only against the government but also against a nation which is among the first in the world in terms of generosity solidarity hospitality with the french have the humility to apologize the story will be closed and we will work in the interests of everyone. president is said to told a cabinet meeting that under maritime law it's dictated that in cases of distress those with the closest coastline have a responsibility to respond and in his view that was sicily but it has since emerged that leaders on the french island of corsica actually offered the vessel to dock there before they were criticized harshly by the central government in paris so some including italy is suggesting that there's some double standards when it comes to migrants and france they've also now asked france to take on nine thousand migrants from their own country. all right that does it for me i'll be back in about thirty three minutes before the troops with us this is our t.v.

internet. kids anything. not. even and i can do it on jay dealing with this thing i'm done forcing in that equal distances also means what equals a stance make. don't be done to tell me i'm doing. putting

this on this is the downside to us at all to the sitting on. the. i think it trite to imagine that i say things just to be controversial you would not withstand the level of attacks of police harassment of detention of having my passport taken off social services being called on my children my family being under threat of having to jihad these plotting to behead me in nov twenty seventh i don't believe you would withstand those levels of people trying to trying to silence you if you didn't believe what you said.

greetings and salutations here in the united states there are there is a lot that is right just and good but sadly there is a lot that is broken imperfect and at times downright evil and twenty seventeen one out of every seven children reported missing here in the united states was most likely a victim of sex trafficking and of those victims according to the national center for missing and exploited children eighty eight percent were in the care of child welfare services or foster care when they went missing in fact attorney michael dolce points out in newsweek that this is the trend and not the exception he writes that the outcomes of law enforcement efforts against sex traffickers repeatedly support the n.c.i. me see estimate in a two thousand and thirteen f.b.i. seventy city nationwide raid sixty percent of the victims came from foster care or

group homes in two thousand and fourteen new york authorities estimated that eighty five percent of sex trafficking victims were previously in the child welfare system and if the numbers still don't convince you that the foster care system here in the u.s. is dangerously broken well how about some testimony to california congresswoman karen bass a longtime advocate for foster care reform who recently told reuters that quote every youngster that i've ever talked to who was trafficked trafficked says the same thing they didn't come looking for me nobody cared they didn't bother to come.
